ST. Louis has succeeded in raising .
boom in the way of sensational phAn-
tom horse aud buggy which traverseS
Pine street. On Tuesday last . shrewd
advertiser took advantage OF the sensation
by rigging up facsimile of the alleged
spectre, paraded the street through an I'm
mense throng gathered to see the genuine
ghostly visItant, aud after passing nearly
through the crowd commenced Scattering
advertising dodgers. Tho mob imms-
diately attacked the rig, and would have
demolished it and badly beaten the occu-
pants had the police not intsrfered. Aait
was they were roughly handled and
stoned. The Globe-D5mocrat still insists
on there being veritable ghostly vehicle,
and quotes hundreds of reputable citizens
as having seen it. II Is more than prOba
BILE that 1t is the ghost of the citys's de-
parted greatness the inhabitants see, and
ifthey 20 to Kansas City they may be en-
abled to view tho original. About next
spring Topeka and Wichita will be see
ing ghosts, when Emporis gets dressed
out in the new boom garments now being
prepared for her.

The reduction Of internal revenue and
the taking of OF revenue stamps from
proprietary medicines, no doubt has large
" benefited the consumers, a. we'll as re-
lIevinR the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's
August Flower and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase the
size OF the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one-ffth more medi-
cine in the 70 cents size. The August
Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
and the German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale Of any medicines in the world The
advantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted In every town and village In civ
ilizsd countries Sample bottles for 10
cents remain the same size.

Rana RaIl.

The Western league are just now get
ting great deal of advertising free be-
cause of the clash at Kansas City between
the Kansas City Western league club and
the Kansas City National league club.
The Kansas City Western league club
has challenged the National league team
to play 9 series of games for the local
championship, making them similar to the
Maroon Brown games of st. Louis.
The manager of the National league re-
fused to meet the Western league, and
says that the latter management will be
unable to maintain good players.
The struggle between the two clubs
seems to be for the survival of the flttest
and as the National league will probably
not recognize the Kansas City team the
Western league will undoubtedly win the
day.
The prominent baee ball men of Kan
sas are making arr0nhements for . state
league comprising about eight or ten
cities. This movement seems to meet
with favor from all points ard will doubt

LEAYENWORTH SALOONS

Prombitionists, and all others in favor
forced, will be pleased to learn that in
Leavenworth-the hot bed of the whisky
element in Kansas. as we'll as Of democ
racy-:hs law and order element, through
the exertions of Attorney General Brad
ford, have given the whIskyites q black
eye, and that the latter are In . badly
demoralIzed condition. The same state Of
atfMrs-only worse-Appesrs to prevail
there that at one time prevailed here, and
a man who INDUCES in intoxicating
drinks is expected to perjure himself on
the witness stand in order to shield Q lot
of worthless vIolatsrs OF the law who sell
whisky at 800 or 400 Per cent profit to the
customers who are expected to shield
them from the consequences of their crimes
by laying themselves liable to q term In
the penitentisry.
According to tho Associated Press re-
port, signed by D. r. Anthony, the au-
thorIz sd agent at that point, the mayor OF
the city Of Leavenworth has been a party
to the violations of the law, and when
placed on the witness stand has allowed
himself to be placed in very question
able position, to say the least, as to his
truth and veracitY.
1t il sad state of affairs when the lead
ing official of one of our largest cities
eau be induced TO thus act the part of an
Abettor of a Violstor of the law, either be-
CAUSE he is allied with the vlo!ators, OF
because be thinks and acts as . schoolboy
would do when asked to "peach" on his
fellow scholars.
At one time IN this city of EmporiS II
was considered a matter of honor for mer
of good standing In the community to &C
on the witness stand and swear they had
asked for and obtained "tea" at Is cents &
drink from weIl-known whisky Eellers
This was nothing more or less than plaIr
perjury, and is probably about the way
things are IN LeaYel worth.
But, let one honorable determined man
break the ice and tell the truth, and the
others will Immediately see their folly
and wickedness IN eVading answers in
such manner as would not be permitted
for moment in a murder or any olhel
than whisky case.
LIST the good work go on.

THE MAsQUE BALL.

Friday evening the Owl club gave mas
querade ball in the Eighth avenue skat-
ing rink, which may well be considered
the leading event of the season. At about
8 O'Clock the Mosques began to gather
and at the same time large number of
invited spectators, to the number Of two
hundred, until at 8 O'Clock the hall was
well crowded. The committee Of the
Owl club, led by Will Irwin, dressed In
regulation dress suits, received the guests
and acted as floor managers. The dane
ing, until 10 O'Clock, was participated in
only by the masquers, and the rem Under
of the guests enjoyed themselves watching
the oddly assorted groups and in trying
to discover what fsces were hidden be-
hind the queer Mosques. At 10 O'Clock
the eau was given to unmasqus
and shout of merrimsnt went up as famil-
lar faces suddenly appeared where least
expected and the substitution Of quaint
and fantastic costumes in place of sober,
every day clothes, made q scene irresisti-
bly, comic. The costumes were all neat
and tasty and many Of them unusually
handsome and expensIve. The masQue
which probably created the most fun, were
the ''three Johns" taken by Carl Nation,
Cal Severy and Clarence Holmes. They
certainly did the subject justice. Harry
Irwin and Chas. Russell as sine names
Marks, etc" created considerable amuse-
ment. It would be impossible for US to
state what lady was the most Handsomely
ettired, a. the reportorial eye was irresis-
tibly attracted to their charming faces 70
the utter exclusion of the minor details Of
dress. As for the gentlemen, they seemed
to care not so much for magniflcence as
for oddly in their costumes. The music
which was furnished by the z. P. orches-
ira, was as usual, fist class, and
would induce even q Puritan to trip the
light fantastic had one been in attendance
last evening. As It was there were nu-
merous nuns, priests and other pious in

the matter with 8 review of the Italian,
Russian, German, Austrian and Turkish
nAVIes. Their comparative strength
